So today I decided I wanted to go get one last glimpse of the snow before it is finally gone. I rode my bicycle around 5 miles south to the local park to go chillax and gaze at the snow that was still there. On my way there/back I saw atleast 20 people out jogging/walking/riding bikes out along the trails. Then at the park I saw Huge groups of kids and adults out playing basketball,football. etc.. most wearing either shorts or Jeans with no jacket.( I fall into this category) Meanwhile the outside temperature was between 45-47 degrees. Uphere in Indiana at around the latter part of Winter a 45 degrees to us feels like 65 degrees.
This Winter has been a cold and unusually long one. This March 1st was the coldest start to March in 27 years.
I love Winter so the cold temps dont bother me
well back to the point. Would you think we are insane or not for being outside with no jackets,shorts etc... at temperatures like these?
Well ... living in a place where it can get up to 125 during summer, I would say you are crazy for being ANYWHERE without a coat if it's 75 degrees or less!
When you're used to a winter of cold temps, a warm up feels like summer.
When you're coming out of a warm summer, those same temps feel chilly.
^^
Even I can handle just a t-shirt at 32 F, with no wind and bright sun, for about 5 minutes during our winter mild spells...
but I ALWAYS "freeze my butt off" in Autumn when we first go back to highs even at 59 F.
Our April average is 52/37 F, our October is 57/42 F...
But October nearly-always FEELS colder than April.
*Probably combined with shorter daylight hours too; April's days are about 12.5-13.5 hours long, Octobers 11.5-10.5 hours long
Not insane gdude . After havng months of sub-freezing temps temps in the high 40s will definitely seem very warm. 40 in September and 40 in March are two different worlds completely.

Also, in April the sun is a lot higher in the sky and there is a lot more heat coming from the sun in April than in October.
I cant believe we hit 68!!! I twodidnt see a jacket for as far as the eye could see.
